EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print transports us back to a momentous evening in American history - the Centennial Fair of 1876. Illuminating the fairgrounds with an explosion of color and light, fireworks fill the night sky as spectators marvel at this breathtaking display. The scene is alive with excitement and wonder. The Centennial Exposition held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania was a grand celebration marking one hundred years of American independence. This wood engraving from that era perfectly encapsulates the late-night festivities on September 28th, 1876. As darkness descended upon North Philadelphia, crowds gathered along the riverbank to witness this extraordinary spectacle. In this image by Granger NYC / The Granger Collection, we see people from all walks of life coming together to experience this once-in-a-lifetime event. Their faces glow with awe and joy as they watch bursts of firework illuminate the fairground's surroundings. The artist expertly captures not only the visual splendor but also conveys a sense of unity and pride felt by those present during this historic occasion. It serves as a reminder that even amidst challenges and divisions, moments like these can bring people together in shared admiration for their nation's achievements. This print stands as a testament to our enduring spirit of celebration and reminds us how events such as these shape our collective memory for generations to come.
